Beth Kanter had a great post today about how much time it takes to do social media. I started to post a comment but ended up typing WAY too much, so I figured I’d just blog about it. Beth suggests five modules for implementing a social media plan: listening, participating, generating buzz, sharing your story […]

Nothing like reading an article like this one to make you realize that Big Brother is, indeed, watching your every move online. News correspondent Olivier Knox was researching a piece about the economic rescue package and paused to update his status on Facebook: “Olivier just counted, and President Bush has pushed the bailout in 12 […]

Apparently Martha Stewart has decided that blogging is a good thing, because she has jumped into the blogosphere with The Martha Blog: Up Close & Personal. Ever the marketing whiz, she is having a blog contest–add your blog to the comment section of her blog and she will check it out and, if you’re chosen […]

The phone supposedly kicks the iPhone’s ass–faster download times, voice to action, more memory for the price, etc. etc. According to Sprint’s own ads, of course. This video tells a different […]

I may not be the most eco-friendly person on the planet, but I do hate paper and try to have as little of […]

Ok, not an actual survey–my own bootleg analysis based on cross-referencing my favorite book of the moment, Stuff White People Like, and this article in Time magazine about Gen-X being aTwitter. According to the author of the Time article, Bill Tancer (author of Click: What Millions do Online and Why it Matters), Twitter’s largest age […]

Forget what I said about all Gen-Y posts about career advice being identical and useless—this one is like no other job advice blog post I’ve ever read before. Somehow this guy makes a case for the interrelationship between casual sex, video games and entrepreneurship. Here is my Cliff Notes version of his salient points: Fun: […]

I’m recycling this from my other blog because it relates to a post I did a while back on this blog about why I blog. Happy Blogoversary to MeOk, that’s not actually true–this is not the anniversary of my first post. It is, however, almost the anniversary of the date I started tracking visitor stats. […]
